mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes not so. dimension here is not properly taken
as "same kg" or "same m3"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform both items used in the intended manner. sword,
as sword, cup
as cup.
mircea_popescu: understand : if you spent your million dollars to buy knight's sword, it came with a "will not make it 20 years" guarantee. if spent same million dollars to buy china set, it came with "forever
as long
as your family line shall be" guarantee.
BingoBoingo: Even then, rest of switch mechanism doesn't have to be ceramic. Just the keycaps. Solves problem of letter wear. Everything else can be buttjection molded whatever,
as long
as it is soft enough to not piss of keys.
mircea_popescu: yes, but in point of fact i write
as much or more
as anyone, on a kbd.

as a start
mircea_popescu: ie, when at the height of soviet obamacare you broke your leg and your mother made you an ad-hoc wooden contraption to fix it, she DID in fact bespoke you a traction, even if it sucked so bad
as to compare negatively to african healthcare.
mircea_popescu: if "mass-produced plebeshit
as minimal bar" is your criterion, then it definitionally is not bespoke. because it's not compared to you, it's compared to the mass.
mircea_popescu: eh, qty of one. "omfg, do you know what it means to make a planet on which snakes might evolve so
as to have material FOR BUTTONS?!?!?!"
a111: Logged on 2017-09-12 03:44 asciilifeform: if you actually NEED 100s-of-wpm for something,
as opposed to pissing contests in arena, dwelling on anything other than a bespoke (for YOUR hands) chorder, is lunacy.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: And then you write off entire classes of residential structure
as habitable when enough people have asked to establish a trend...
mircea_popescu: take stephen fry
as a fine example. cancerous fag has been doing anti-reality nonsense since the 80s
BingoBoingo: Eh, he's going through a turn
as fad of the day in fake news discussions.
mircea_popescu:
as in the us it's now illegal to rape in a foreign jurisdiciton
mircea_popescu: but that works in common system, "oh, aversarial proceedings, we judge the case
as is". not here. here, all the officials involved get thrown in jale and THEN!!!! the ustards who took the kids, and the ones who facilitated CAN be prosecuted

as rothbart.
mike_c: wife and two kids, if I just get a dog and sell my motorcycle I'm about
as typical
as they come.
phf: Wittes, who happens to be a martial arts aficionado himself, has chided Putin
as a âfraudâ and a âphonyâ and is trying to call his bluff by challenging the Russian strongman to a fight in any location where Putin lacks the authority to have him arrested.
mircea_popescu: spyked yes, the problem of idiots being permited next to the machinery and
as a result of their gefingerpoken poppencorken is an old one.
trinque curious why rm does not read a stream of "things upon which to rm" rather than taking
as args
mircea_popescu: there IS such a thing
as a thought primitive ; and there is such a thing
as pseudo-"thought process" to be discounted out of hand for failing to correctly employ the required thought primitives and nothing else.
mircea_popescu: how about you fucking learn to think in actual thoughts
as opposed to badly mangled "proxies" for thoughts!
mircea_popescu: you shouldn't HAVE glob at all. you should have "on this directory" ; not
as a LIST of files but
as "this directory".
trinque: in the present circumstance to have glob expansion in shell rather than in each command, gotta pass the individual files
as args to the command.
trinque: well,
as phf said sanity would be that you have orthogonal ops, write own macros for whatever you do 500 times a day, and can call it 8==D for all anyone cares
mircea_popescu: that's why the fuck cs is in math dept in the first place ;
as opposed to fucking literary criticism
mircea_popescu: importing ambiguity into computer lang is ~
as stupid
as trying to orthogonalize natural lang.
spyked: asciilifeform yeah, but "rm -rf *" doesn't mean "all files reachable in this path". it means "expand * to arbitrarily long sausage, then pass result
as args to rm".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because *
as a semantic notation is part of a class that goes a*.txt too.
phf: note that plan9/rc tried actually making the last command work, rm `{du|awk '{print $1}'|grep txt} almost works
as expected out of the box. (note the somewhat questionable decision to "replace" find with du, but then you have to awk out first column..)
mircea_popescu:
as it is, now he's going to hack together an undesigned, ad-hoc "sane human-readable form", which is nogood.jpg and also how you get dedicated, good folk in trouble.
mircea_popescu: would actually be iunteresting,
as a phuctor sort of thing. "here's the mempool pile"
phf: there was a naggum rant on the subject, that he recompiles his kernels to make that variable
as large
as possible, because the behavior is stupid
mod6: <+phf> the feature has been there for a while.. i really should document all the different flags that you can pass to message listing << aha. this would be great
as I know the thing does a lot of things, i can just never remember what they are :]
mircea_popescu: (everyone got ~5k credit if replaced old car.
as a result ro car plant sold 1mn units of the 5k euro dacia things. NEW CARS!)
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to the usual black chix code bs, which is never about any black chicks getting anything but reamed.

as long
as we live and attempt to kill everyone before the air runs out". << But, bleeding is a feminist value!
mircea_popescu: ws that 2. everyone is perfect in every way (called "special" in-universe) ; meanwhile 3. because progress and pangloss' best possible world, all historical characters are definitionaly LESS than the present troop of ruminants (and see also the inflation delusion,
as well discussed for instance in

mircea_popescu: and before you laugh : this is EXACTLY what they are thinking, it's not a joke, it's a statement of fact. 1. everyone has "the human right" of being here in the first place, and being free of any "rape" such
as being insufficient for anything, or in any way inadequate, including being untalented, obese, you name it. 2. from the indemnity againast any inconvenience or shortcoming (called "negativity" in-universe) it then follo

as Amazon. The sale wasn't announced to the MIT community until after it had taken effect. '
mircea_popescu: "petrocheese for everyone"
as a philosophical choice amirite.
ben_vulpes:
as distinct from the white trash rapper
mircea_popescu: whether she conceptualizes this sexual mutilation
as "i hate the man and so i bit off his penis" or "i rly LUV!!1 the man so much i... cut off his penis" is irrelevant. yes the latter is the sort of perversion (in proper terms, cognitive dissonance) "civilised" individuals tend to come up with to explain their own choices to themselves. nevertheless, a cut is a cut, it has no philic component.,
mircea_popescu: black doods simply manage to count
as subpar for a larger percent of females than whites.

BingoBoingo: Meanwhile from the wikipedos on what Express Scripts is: "Express Scripts Holding Company is an American Fortune 100 company.
As of 2017, the company is the 22nd-largest in the United States
as well
as the largest pharmacy benefit management (PBM) organization in the United States.[1] Express Scripts had 2016 revenues of $100.752 billion.[1]"

☟︎ ben_vulpes: not in the slightest; it's just
as stupid
as the rest of the system. why expect brilliance in any one part?
mircea_popescu also appreciates the terseness
as a stylistical choice. in english, it is at worst a forced mistake, by the medium, and in general a good idea.
mircea_popescu: now, forcing a point : if complex numbers are notated
as a + bi, then it is a correct approach to describe a sum
as x (= a + a') + y (=b + b') i rather than x' (= q + p i + r + t i) + y' (=q' + p' i + r' + t' i). the former notation would be a normatively correctly stated theorem (elements are orthogonal) whereas the latter would, while still equivalent, nevertheless be normatively incorrect (it mixes up the lemmas!).
mircea_popescu: and romanian has ESPECIALLY a problem with orthogonality (
as a necessary drawback of its insane bond power), which is why and wherefore it ends up thinking all languages are just badly spelled romanian.
mircea_popescu: the only case where this happens is when there's in fact two language. such
as in polygotism, or else argot-mainstream disjunctions. THERE you can have orthogonality in language.
mircea_popescu: then we find it impossible to talk to strangers
as the first symptom.
mircea_popescu: but i think the point transpires, if metaphorically : the fundamental reason language even exists in any usable, useful form is the rejection of orthogonality
as a possibility.
mircea_popescu: language
as used by humans is actually predicated on the impossibility of orthogonality.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not really, because there's no such thing
as orthogonality in natural language. that's a property of a correctly constructed theorem ("let it have no overlapping lemmas") and therefore relevant in computing.
mircea_popescu: which brings back the sad fact of the matter : there's no such thing
as a weak language ; only imbecile speakers
mircea_popescu: a fine example in that very same paragraph : "I don't expect I've done" is very much different from the "plain english" "equivalent" "I don't think I've done" :
as there is no relation between expectation and reality, saying "i don't expect i've done" is a perfectly fine sendoff on a masterpiece. not same in the case of the latter
mircea_popescu: very direct measure of the power of a language -- weak languages only have van der waals links and thereby can't support complexity such
as life
mircea_popescu: modesty is good and well,
as an solipsitic limit for the self. it can not stand against others' telling you to make it.
PeterL: keep in mind I am just learning ada
as I do this, I feel like there might be a more efficient way to do some of the things (like the type conversions)
mircea_popescu: turd, like all others. whereas the first petawatt laser IS,
as a factual matter, the first such laser ever built. for all we know -- every built anywhere in the universe.
mircea_popescu: (which fraction of this via
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-27#1703771 they're not required to declare,
as per "fair and balanced" pseudo"legislation" enacted by self-same pantsuit. but it'd be a fair guess half to two thirds of comcast income is entirely fake, govt gifting, putting them at a hefty 20 to 30bn loss a year from continued operations)
☝︎ mircea_popescu: yes, it's "mean", but at least it doesn;'t leave your ass flying
as a kite the moment the "everyone wants to be a roman citizen" dries off.
mircea_popescu: just goes to show the libertards are actual retards. who the fucking hell picks "headcount" over "metaphysics"
as a tool to bezzle, if given the choice. and they did have the choice.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo re
http://qntra.net/#fn2-7835 : this is both correct and well grounded. pantsuit exists by and for a certain section of us corporatelandia ; which entirely exists of and for "job creation"
as the racket through which to launder "public funds" ie fake money printed by fed on the basis of chinese indiscriminate crediting of the us foreign account.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "there seems to no actual movement by fiat concerns to compete with the ascendant" ? << was written and reads
as "there seems to no actual movement by fiat concerns to compete with the ascendant No Such lAbs at this time."

as "that guy's wife", homemaker ne ultra better homes and gardens!
BingoBoingo: Well, Trilema has to get in on The Great Again lulz from time to time
as well
mircea_popescu: i considered sending it
as a qntra, but... in the end i judged trilema better positioned to absorb the fake newsness of it.
